1. IMPACTS OF SAND MINING
Impacts of sand mining can be broadly clasified into three categories: Physical The large-scale extraction of streambed materials, mining and dredging below the existing streambed, and the alteration of channel-bed form and shape leads to several impacts such as erosion of channel bed and banks, increase in channel slope, and change in channel morphology.
Positive and Negative Impacts of Sea Sand Mining

Environmental Risks of Mining
This type of mining is particularly damaging to the environment because strategic minerals are often only available in small concentrations, which increases the amount of ore needed to be mined. Environmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process.
Sand mining: The world is extracting sand faster than it can
2019/06/14Sand mining is occuring at unsustainable levels across the world, led by China and India, finds the United Nations Environment (UNEP). Led by China and India, the world is mining sand at unsustainable levels exceeding the replenishment rate and that can have far-reaching social and environmental implications, reveals a new report by the United Nations Environment.
